Workshops @ #IL2009
Many conference attendees participated in pre-conference workshops at Internet Librarian 2009 yesterday and today. Some workshops were small seminars and others, like the Searchers & Web Manager Academies and Screencasting workshop, were large information intensive events. I like the coverage of the Twitter workshop by attendee Chris Freeman (civillibrarian). Chris also covered the Library Camp Monterey and Keeping Afloat workshop on Saturday. Thanks, Chris, for sharing!

“There’s been so much discussion recently about how libraries need to go to where the users are, develop and deliver services in micro-formats, take the library mobile. We’ve been covering it in Computers in Libraries magazine and it’s a topic on the program at Internet Librarian. Thanks to our partnership with Mosio, I’m glad to say we’re going to get to give attendees in Monterey a feeling for how it can apply in a real-life setting, by taking our own thick program, micro,” said Dick Kaser, Information Today’s VP of Content.
